Another sweltering Sydney day: 39 degrees C at the moment, and the air-con in the office is not working fully. The quote from my desk calendar is particularly apt:
It is a sure sign of summer if the chair gets up when you do.The Curate has previously given a good guide to lamingtons, which is what I and my English Conversation Class made today.

We talked about food and drink, and I thought it'd be great fun to make lamingtons and fairy bread(*). They all seemed to enjoy making the lamington icing [I bought the sponge cake ready-made], and they (and I) particularly enjoyed eating them! It was good as well to hear about the different foods and drinks in China and Indonesia (where my students today were from).
(*)Buttered sandwiches sprinkled with 100s and 1000s -- kids seem to love them at birthday parties: I know I did (and do)!
